Testosterone UPDATE for 2023 - Do You Need This?

[@chevelleman88]

I can tell you’re really new to this subject. Rule #1, don’t chase numbers. Chase results. Chase symptom alleviation.

[@riggs9688]

This is true! Never chase numbers.

[@Saint_Ann]

The doctor is correct about watching your initial levels. After my first six months of injections, my testosterone level was 1,098. After reducing my injection by twenty-five percent, my levels stabilized in the seven hundreds.

[@MatthewC137]

@@Saint_Ann She probably recommends the C-vax too (which is downright criminal).

[@krane15]

The typical doctor is programmed in school to do just that. She goes by number so any man needs ot avoid her like the plague. She thinks she knows more than the men effected by the malady. I can tell you form experience your body doesn't go by the number. It doesn't say I'm not going to show any symptom because the level isn't low enough. I started to show symptoms when my number were still within the "normal" range. I suffered for years because the quacks kept saying I was "normal." Besides, doctors have livability, and the number are always a safe route.

Glad to hear! I’ve been on HRT since I was 39 (now 52). My level when I started was 239. Started with gel, switched to weekly injections, now using cream from a compounding pharmacy. I prefer gel, but it’s cost prohibitive with the insurance I have.

[@chevelleman88]

The compounded cream works fantastically unless you shower it off too soon.

[@cranbers]

What was the dose of gel? Why do you say its so costly? its more expensive then injections why did you stop that?

[@1wSCOTTw1]

I don’t recall the dosage, but the gel was more expensive because my insurance sucks. They wanted $500/month. Compounded cream is only $55/month. I stopped the injections because I got tired of stabbing myself.

[@krane15]

Cost shouldn't be the driving factor when it comes to your health. I think you already know that.

[@watto3955]

Helpful video. Thank you. However, I do not think we should highlight just the sexual or mood benefits as 'objectives' for testosterone trestments. For me, like many, I also suffered fatigue, lack of concentration and a reduction in sharpness and clear thinking especially at work when working under pressure. It isn't always about erections and libido as I am sure you understand.

Well said. I had symptom at 400. Doctors sometimes focus so much on the numbers they forget the patient. My body didn't know it wasn't suppose to show symptoms at 400. I had every symptom on the list and felt like the walking dead. Yet according to the list, I was withing the appropriate levels.

[@96SupraTT]

Good on her for actually prescribing TRT. That's better than most providers in our t"oxic masculinity" world who only freely prescribe Test to girls "transitioning". That said, she needs to better educate herself if she wants to continue providing proper TRT. If she's looking for a total test range of 350 to 750, those numbers aren't complete without looking at free test. A total level of 350 is unich territory and well below an optimal level. I know you treat symptoms, not numbers with hormones. For reference, my pre TRT total was 460 and I felt horrible even after addressing every other factor in my life. She wouldn't have treated me based on what she said. My natural numbers from 10 years prior at 38 years old were 790 and I felt bad then too thus me getting tested. I dont have tests to verify, I'd bet I was 1000+ in my late 20s and early 30s. My numbers on TRT now range from 1100 to 1500 injecting 3x/week. The blood serum number is highly influenced by a number of factors and can swing. Total levels of 1000 ng/dl testosterone are not "dangerously high". That was the average of healthy men prior to 1950. The real question is what lowered our testosterone? Most blame it on plastics and our food supply. The intentional pacifying of our male population to make compliant citizens? Furthermore, the only reason testosterone is a controlled med was from abuse in the Olympics and was only made controlled in 1990. Its sister hormone Estrogen isn’t controlled at all and Rx'd out like candy to every still developing teenage girl with known negative effects later in life. Also, the only blood component that typically elevates is hematocrit and this is not a risk for blood clots or strokes unless you have a blood disease like m polycythemia causing it. Otherwise everyone living at higher elevations such as Colorado would be stroking out. Do better.

I was on Testosterone for over 20 years after finding out in my 20's that I was a 47 chromosome man. I also was told at that time that I was sterile. My T number was 177. Throughout my pre-teens I was very skinny and had little to no body hair except for my scalp. I also had small muscle mass for my age. The Dr at that time noticed my chest was not well defined and I had small raised breasts. At that time I was 6ft and 184 pounds. Over the next 20 years, I was on all types of T including a weekly shot given to me at the Dr's office. In the latter years, I was only on the gel( 2 pumps twice per day). My T levels never got higher than 350. But, there is a caveat in testing scores. If I was feeling more fatigued one week over the next, I would just increase or decrease my amount. Then, at testing time I would take less of the gel and test lower than I should be. Generally, the doctor would prescribe a higher dose and I would self dose as needed. The difference in my life was not noticeable to outsiders. My wife said I always had a stiffy when she needed it. The other side was wide swings of moodiness. Also, during the later parts of my life( in my 60's), I could finally grow a mustache. To this date, I've never had sideburns or a beard. I still shave once a week whether I need it or not. I don't have very much body hair( none on my chest, arms or legs, and very few under my arms, sparse on my groin. One of the other problems was very small testicles( about the size of a peanut). In my 30's I had to have my right one removed since it began to hurt and would stay up in my body instead of hanging below. My left one is still very small. My wife went through menopause a few years back and her vagina no longer produces enough lubricant or desire to have sex. I stayed on my T for about 2 years past this and turned my attention to self pleasure. It was not a good period in our marriage. I finally pulled the plug and stopped using T. The initial first month wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I was still active sexually and had what I thought was plenty of energy. But, by the second month, it was apparent that everything slowed way down. It will be two years in July of this year, that I stopped taking Testosterone. I've come a long way since then. I have accepted the new me( without sex) and it's okay. My energy level never did come back to where it was while on T but, I'm retired and living a different life now. Slower, meaningful and religious. I'm having some problems with my bladder and prostate right now, wondering if this is a side effect of my T?)

Because I have facial hair and some bulk, my Endocrinologist is stumped that I have low testosterone levels. I underwent six separate blood tests before being put on Testavan Gel. My readings averaged 6.1 (this is a UK reading). I am also waiting on an MRI scan to check a gland inside my head. I haven't got the paperwork to hand to be able to tell you all which gland is being checked. My reasons for approaching an endocrinologist was due to my low libido, lack of erections and constant fatigue. I eat well, exercise and take the likes of Ashwagandha, but nothing increased my sex drive, or energy levels.

I have been using Eucommia Ulmoides off and on for a few months - I get it in a pre mix coffee sachet, no idea what the dosage is. The extract from the hardy rubber tree _seems_ to stimulate testosterone production, although there is not much research on this particular ethnobotanical to suggest *how.* Is it interacting with the hypothalamus to send messages to the leydig cells in the testes or ovaries, instructing them to secrete more? Is it providing some aid to the systems in production? I don't know .. but since the tree can grow in zone 7, we are planning on adding a couple to the food forest. The upside is, I am healing faster, and have more energy for work and exercise. There is a little increase in libido, but not to teenage levels, thank goodness.

I have questions on testosterone. Why is it not broken up by age? For example, if you’re 45 and you’re under 400 for example. The research I’ve done says it drops as you get older and having 300 as the benchmark might be too low for someone younger last one is does it cause hair loss?

[@Systemlord30]

Risk of death is 30% higher with normal testosterone is defined as low testosterone. There’s androgen sensitivity and receptor density, which determine when you will get low testosterone. You can’t have one number for everyone. Most of the medical societies are decades behind the science, especially the Endocrine Society, who are the ones who write the guidelines to qualify for TRT. Doctors need to focus on healthy normal ranges, because as testosterone continues to decline across the population, normal in 50 years won’t be what it is now. In the 1970s the average testosterone level was 720, now it’s 420 ng/dL.

Sadly like most professions - some are just not passionate, some just flat out dont really care, and from my experience a fair number are just ignorant - they don't keep learning and reading like most people do these days and have no real expertise besides what they got out of med school and have directly been exposed to (which was probably decades ago).

Nobody knows what a good level is. Some men have very high levels naturally.

That study makes no sense. They endangered the lives of those men with possible heart issues. They’re not mice.

[@silascooper3217]

If the men were already considering taking testosterone, not sure how this study endangered them. Also, it’s not like testosterone is a new drug. It’s a bio-identical hormone your body naturally produces and is being REPLACED when deficient.

Where is your proof ?

[@mattarndt4452]

@@jaydubya7012 It’s in the video. She literally said that one of the groups they tested had heart problems. What doctor would prescribe TRT to individuals with known heart problems? Yeah, their test came back without issues, but what IF it didn’t and someone died? I don’t get it.

@@mattarndt4452 You need to educate yourself a little more. For more than 20 years, people diagnosed with heart failure were prescribed TRT which greatly improved their heart function and increased their lifespan. The data has been trickling in for decades, 43 studies showing only benefits, very few have been paying attention. Low-T puts you at risk for many diseases of aging. TRT equals a 30% decreased risk of heart attack, stroke and 53% reduced risk of prostate cancer. If you give TRT to someone with advanced, end state, heart failure, problems can arise. To date, not a single human being died where TRT was the cause of death! As far as those men with high risk disease being given TRT, the risk of doing nothing is higher. When you’re on deaths doorstep, out of options, you don’t have much to lose by trying a therapy that might extend your life.

​@mattarndt4452 did you watch it, placebo and testosterone patients had the same results for heart issues they were practically identical

too little testosterone? first find the reason for it. Testosterone is not a panacea.

The problem that I have with your approach is that you are working off of a broken premise. The medical field has a range, which is significantly large, that men are tested against. That is a start. I'll say that. At this point in our medical understanding however, we should be further ahead. Let me explain. Patient A lives with a measured T of 350. At age 45, he is measured to have 275. You, as a doctor would prescribe TRT as a remedy. Patient B lives with a measure T of 850. At age 45 he is measured to be at 325. You would not prescribe TRT as you would not see a problem. Long story short, we need a program in which males are regularly tested after puberty to establish a personal baseline. You are diagnosing men based on a range instead of a change. It is the most unscientific basis for prescription that I have seen.
